Friday gallery crawl.
This is a small collection of pieces from over the years.
All are oil, pencil, watercolor and charcoal on paper, canvas or wood.
The earliest piece in this collection is The Moon and June from 2007 with the most recent being the Redcap goblin from this summer.

Ms. Salem.
2014.
Graphite on parchment. 11”x14”
Illustration for a set of Halloween cards. She ended up becoming a fan-favorite and there’ve been countless pirated edits of her on Etsy and Pinterest. This is the original. Anything different from this is stolen.

A vintage style illustration of an elegant young witch conjuring something otherworldly from her cauldron as her faithful black cat sits in her lap.

Here’s my first test run.
The larger leaves will be animated on the top sheet of glass, while the other smaller leaves will move underneath along the title card.

Doing another title card animation run. I’m considering adding more text since it’s for a book, maybe more leaves. If my body doesn’t betray me once I get out of this floor.

l'm trying to animate a title card for the "Sugar Bug Parish" kickstarter pitch.
Yes, I'm shooting through dirty glass with my homemade multi-plane setup.
Hitting that 24fps has been a nightmare, so I may have to change it up.
Wish me luck.

I want to art direct a Monster Party reboot.
It’s a gem that deserves an update.

nice to meet you!

Digital illustration with a traditional appearance of purple and yellow-orange hues on canvas. The setting is Clocktown, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A low view of Link stepping away cautiously while looking up past the clocktower at the massive and menacing moon that will soon crash down on Termina.

Digital illustration of a man and woman celestial beings. Near the bottom, the man is lifting a pure black orb, somewhat like a black hole, above his head. Above the orb, the woman lifts weightlessly toward a bright galaxy and space dust, her bright hair flowing downward and encircling the black orb.

Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful. She's part of everything and distinct.

Banjo-Kazooie fan art. A digital sketch with a traditional appearance and purple-ish to yellowish hues. It depicts Banjo and Kazooie in a reimagined design, as they scale up Spiral Mountain toward Grunty's Lair. Bottles the Mole looks over the top of Spiral Mountain down towards Banjo and Kazooie.

It's the spookiest time of the year.

Watching Adolf Hemorrhoid incoherently wheeze through what I assume was his first GTA live stream with the cumbrous swagger of a freshly-shat bedpan is not how I recommend starting your day.
